Fashion photographer Sergi Pons captures modern takes on dapper dandywear for the latest issue of GQ Germany.
Models Steve Gold, Adrian Bosch, Sean Harju and Andrea Preti wear laid-back menswear that includes double-breasted, rolled-up blazers, wide-legged trousers, cropped suit pants, vibrant paisley ties and a killer lilac suit with wingtips. That lilac suit is my favorite outfit of the lot; it's tailored perfectly and paired with a coordinating button-down shirt and polka-dotted tie.
A white suit also gets a modern reinterpretation for the GQ Germany editorial with an ultra-lightweight fabric and cropped hemline. It's styled with lace-up loafers, an unbuttoned suit shirt, a lemon-yellow V-neck vest and a sweet black-brimmed hat.
Not every look is for today's gentleman, however; one shot features a black suit accented with a floral scarf worn as a belt and a blue satchel.
